Rachel to Rock West End

Belfast's Rachel Tucker is set to make her leading lady West End debut tonight in the hit musical we Will Rock You.

Family and friends of the I'd Do Anything singer travelled to London over the weekend to cheer her on in her 'meaty' new role.

The pretty brunette from the north of the city will play the the part of sassy Meat in the Queen musical at the Dominion Theatre.

Based on the songs of the legendary band, We Will Rock You was written by Ben Elton in collaboration with Queen members Brian May and Roger Taylor. Strictly Come Dancing's Arlene Phillips is the choreographer.

The musical opened in May 2002 and despite being panned by the critics, has remained an audience favourite. It is also the longest- running musical at the Dominion.
